More quotes by John Podhoretz
Comedians and impressionists used to be two different showbiz animals entirely, but now there's no such thing as a comedian who doesn't do impressions.

Romney has adopted almost every position conservatives want their candidate to espouse: He's pro-life, he wants to repeal ObamaCare, he wants to cut taxes and cut the federal budget, and he wants an unapologetic foreign policy dedicated to the proposition that this too will be the American century.
John Podhoretz
Obama's coalition would have consigned him to the political margins as little as 12 years ago, but the nation's demographic changes are moving far more quickly than most Republicans anticipated.

The presidency is not an entry-level electoral job.

I don't feel alienated from American culture, but I understand people who do.
John Podhoretz
Pop culture is a reflection of social change, not a cause of social change.
John Podhoretz
When Obama was inaugurated, he and his team had an insight - though whether the insight was conscious or not I don't know. But it was this: The TARP $700 billion price tag was a new kind of model.
John Podhoretz
You'd think experienced political professionals would know better than to place their trust in exit polls, notoriously inaccurate surveys that had John Kerry winning the 2004 election by five points when he actually lost by three.
John Podhoretz
I think making a pretense of civility toward Eric Alterman is like making a pretense of civility to a scorpion.
John Podhoretz
Robots have a rich and storied history in movies.
John Podhoretz
The most passionately anti-Obama Republican politicians and activists consider themselves the truest and purest of conservatives, and often unleash their scorn and fury on others who also call themselves conservative but differ on strategy and tactics.
John Podhoretz
This has always been the way of presidential politics. The president rises above the fray while his surrogates go on the attack. They throw the spears and fling the mud he sits upon the throne.
John Podhoretz
Newt Gingrich never received more than 100,000 votes in his life. He'll never be president.
John Podhoretz
All conservatives are bilingual we have to be. We speak both liberal and conservative. But liberals are monolingual - they don't have to be anything else. They speak liberal, and are completely ignorant of the conservative tongue.
John Podhoretz
